CMS Deployment¶

Database: Allows some configuration, such as dial plan, spaces, and users to be aggregated. Supports clustering for high availability only (single master).
Call Bridge: The audio and video conferencing bridge, including all call control and media processing. Supports clustering for high availability and scalability.
XMPP server: Registration & authentication for CMA and WebRTC clients as well as inter-component signaling. Can be clustered for high availability only.
Web Bridge: Provides access for WebRTC clients
Web Admin: Administration GUI and API access, including for Unified CM ad-hoc conferencing
Recording & Streaming: Call recording and streaming functionality

Configuration Modes

Command Line (CLI): The command-line interface, known as the MMP (or Mainboard Management Processor, from the Acano appliance days), for initial configuration tasks and certificates.
Web Admin: Primarily for CallBridge-related configuration, especially when configuration a single, non-clustered server.
REST API: Used for most advanced configuration tasks and those that involve a clustered database.

In addition, the SFTP protocol is used to transfer files - typically licenses, certificates, or logs - to and from the CMS server. While there may be tools that can configure much of this, it is imperative for administrators to understand and be comfortable with each of these methods of access and the type of information each provides.

Prerequests:

DNS Host-A record for all cms node

do same record for all CMS nodes

Step 1 - Configure password

Configure connectiom credential on console connection. CMS forces you to change password. Default username is admin and default password is also admin. Change password to for example cisco.

Step 2 - Configure Hostname and IP address

For your reference, the following command was used to configure the IP address on the CMS1 server:

CMS> hostname cms1
A reboot is required for the change to take effect
!
ipv4 a add 192.168.80.151/24 192.168.80.254
!
!
CMS> ipv4 a
IPv4 configuration:
    address         192.168.80.151
    default         true
    dhcp            false
    enabled         true
    gateway         192.168.80.254
    macaddress      00:50:56:BC:FC:7D
    prefixlen       24
IPv4 observed values
Addresses:
192.168.80.151/24
Routes:
    source          destination     gateway         global
    0.0.0.0         192.168.80.151  0.0.0.0         false
    0.0.0.0         192.168.80.0    0.0.0.0         false
    0.0.0.0         192.168.80.0    0.0.0.0         false
    0.0.0.0         192.168.80.255  0.0.0.0         false
    0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         192.168.80.254  true

Step 3 - Installation CMM

CMM configuration assistant getting easy to CMS configuration DNS, Certification, NTP, Timezone, LDAP etc...

After initial deployment, CMM generate random password for GUI

Step 4 - Configuration CMM

renew password

Configure CDR for CMS servers

Configure NTP

then restart for applying configuration.

Step 4 - Add CMSs to CMM

Enter CMS creadentials and add

choose deployment what you want to configuration Role

choose certificate parameter which you desired then click next

Configure FQDN and SIP domain. It is very important for certification. If you want to change this parameter later, you should regenerate certification.
